Spring of Love facilitated by Sw. Ravindra Bharti
Love is not a learning but a growth. A ll that is needed on your part is not how to learn the ways of love but how to unlearn the ways of unlove. The hinderances have to be removed, the obstacles have to be destroyed, then love is your natural, spontaneous being. Once the obstacles are removed, the rocks thrown away, the flow starts. Its already there -- hidden behind many rocks, but the SPRING IS already there. It is your BEING.

March 1-7
Sammasati: Right Remembrance facilitated by Ma Pradeepa (In English language only)
These days will be based on the three essences of meditation. Sammasati is the last meditation group that Osho asked for.
1) RELAXATION which has always helped us remember--even enlightenment is only something we have forgotten.There will be guided meditations ,with voice, Osho's words, music and silence.
2) Developing a NON- JUDGMENTAL mind, through bringing more awareness to all the commentary, opinions and attitudes that we carry around. This part is interactive, using structures to make the judgements and moralistic attitudes more visible, and less unconscious or hidden, and this can often be quite hilarious!
3) WATCHFULLNESS will be an increasing theme throughout the process. To create a healthy balance,we will be having daily vipassana practise, both sitting and walking.
Osho said that those who have done Vipassana should do Sammasati, and he suggested that the two groups should support each other.People should do both, starting with either.
"Sammasati, remember your inner space. Just remember.There is nothing to achieve, and there is nothing to become,you are already that which you have been seeking all your lives in different ways, on different paths. But you have never looked inwards. Look in, and whenever you have time, you know the path. Just go again and again to the inner space so that your fear of disappearing is dropped,and you start enjoying being nobody, and you start remembering the forgotten language of Sammasati..."
Osho The Zen Manifesto.

March 11-31
Osho Mystic Rose Group
facilitated by Ma Prem Leela (In English language only)
This group is a unique, dynamic healing and transformative “MeditativeTherapy” that Osho created for today’s humanity. This powerful process penetrates to the very core of our energy through Laughter, Tears and Meditation. The depth and intensity that we experience in the first two weeks – laughter and tears - releases energy blocks, negative belief systems and repressions thereby allowing us to live a more free, spontaneous and joyous life. The three elements of Laughter, Tears and Meditation, a three-week process, lasting three hours per day combine to create a dynamic Meditative Therapy, a new concept combining the western approach of therapy and the eastern knowledge of meditation, a profound process for personal transformation. As there is no talking during the three hours of the process, this is indeed a healing beyond words.

April 4 – 10
Hypnosis for Meditation facilitated by Ma Madita (In English language only)
Using hypnosis to turn your mind into a friend who supports a life of meditation. If you feel the longing to move from problem to awareness, from catharsis to inner silence, from worries to a sense of wonder, this group can open the gate.
You will learn to relax, let go of the past and respect and love yourself. You will learn practical tools for your daily life, helping you to connect with your inner silence whenever you want. Once your mind experiences the value of meditation it will cooperate, helping you to recognize and enjoy the mysteries of life.
"Hypnosis can serve health, it can serve love, it can serve friendliness, it can serve courage: all that you want, hypnosis and self hypnosis can help you. It can make you ready for being alone, silent, peaceful, it can make you able to continue an inner current of meditation twenty-four hours."
Osho, Satyam Shivam Sundram

During the same time, one hour daily in the morning:
REMINDING YOURSELF OF THE FORGOTTEN LANGUAGE
OF TALKING TO YOUR BODY AND MIND.
This guided meditation is about making friends with yourself. In deep relaxation you learn to communicate with your body and with your unconscious mind. You experience how you can activate your self healing energies, how your unconscious mind can dissolve harmful old patterns and create new ways of living. The connection between body, mind and soul is getting harmonized.
Pain, diseases, unhealthy habits begin to dissolve and to heal.
This meditation is the very last one we received from Osho.
Introducing this technique Osho said:
The idea is that people need to be taught how to make friends with their body. This is a very deep experience. Through it you can arrive at a new understanding of your mind-body mechanism and its ability to heal itself".

April 14 -18
The Dance of the Seven Veils - Belly Dance facilitated by Ma Prabhu Erasmia (In English language only)
The movements of Belly Dance, full of sweetness, grace and joy, express our sensuous nature, integrate our masculine and feminine energies, and balance our body, heart and mind. Each veil corresponds symbolically to one of the seven chakras: the movements flow in a sequence through the chakras, connecting the earth and the sky, full of the sweetness, joy and grace. As the energies are called to the centre a fire is kindled which opens and illuminates the vital forces, transforming, balancing, harmonizing and integrating the masculine and feminine energies. A space is creating where the outer technique triggers the inner dance to reveal itself, where "the dancer can be lost and only the Dance remains". A space where awakening to Bliss Celebration and the unique silence and fullness of the Being can happen.
"It is a discovery of sweetness and the innocent flow of an ancient and natural way of moving."
"It is a way of balancing body, heart and mind."
"Where there is innocence, the door to the Divine opens."


Apirl 22-30
Being Alone Together facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam (In English language only)
A powerful 9 days meditation retreat dedicated to the nourishment of our roots and inner flowering.
"Meditation needs relaxation. Meditation needs a joyful heart. It is not work. It is play." Osho
This retreat will be facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam who will guide the participants into deep relaxation, intensive awareness and the ultimate quest of "Who Am I".
So, the retreat is meant only for the seekers on the path who can participate whole heartedly in the total process. It is not for the beginners.

May

May 6 -12
Born Again group facilitated by Sw. Antar Khirad
Born Again is a Meditative Therapy which will take you deep into freeing up conditioned and repressed energies that are locked in many negative beliefs and patterns of behaviour from our childhood which inhibit, freeze and block our life force. This is a pure energy process to reconnect to your own childlike vitality and joy.
This therapy is in two stage.
First Stage For the first hour you behave like a child, just enter into your childhood. Whatever you wanted to do, do it - dancing, singing, jumping, crying, weeping - anything at all, in any posture. Nothing is prohibited except touching other people. Don't touch or harm anyone else in the group.
Second Stage For the second hour just sit silently. You will be more fresh, more innocent, and meditation will become easier.

“Man has much to learn from children, but who cares about children? Everybody is trying to teach them without ever thinking
about a simple thing: they are coming out of life's source, fresh. They must be carrying something which we have forgotten. If you go backward and remember, you cannot go further back than your fourth year, or the most your third year. Suddenly there comes a wall; your memory cannot penetrate further back. What happened? You lived those four years and in fact, those four years were the happiest that you had known. But your experience somehow has been blocked by the society. It is dangerous for the society that people should be so innocent, like children. Your parents, your teachers, your leaders "with all the good intentions in their hearts" are doing immense harm. They repress the child in you, and the child in you is closer to God than anything else. This is why so many mystics have insisted; "Unless you are born again, unless you become childlike again, you will not know the truth and you will not know the beauty and you will not know the mystery of existence." Everybody forgets, but somewhere deep down in the unconscious, the experience of those days goes on echoing. It is this echoing of those experiences that sends you in search, because you cannot accept your miserable life "full of anxiety and tension and psychological sickness"as the meaning of your being here. Vaguely, somewhere, you know that there have been golden moments also. You cannot exactly remember, but an undercurrent in your unconscious goes on creating a longing in you to find those lost moments again. Religion is basically the search for childhood: the same innocence, the same joy in things, the same fearlessness those magical eyes, that heart which was able to dance with the trees, the heart that was enchanted with the moon and the stars. That space in which existence is nothing but sheer glory, pure splendor."
Osho - The Hidden Splendor

May 16-20
The Secret of Transformation (Seven Points of Mind Training) facilitated by Sw. Krishna Deva (In English language only)
Based on sutras of Atisha, this five day group intends to facilitate a life transforming understanding of what meditation is: an organic unity of Mind-Body-Spirit. Mind always plays mischief and it can create hell if one does not know how to relate with it. The group offers simple, gentle and yet powerful tools to befriend Mind-Body in harmony with spirit. In practice it will bring about an inner discipline and concentrated efforts to experience authentic reality. There will be application of some latest techniques of core transformation, re-birthing, psycho-synthesis, NLP and tools of spirit synchronised with Osho’s vision.

THE OBJECTIVES:
To establish friendly and compassionate relationship with one’s own mind-body.
Relating with others: love in action
Harmonising polar opposites of mind to a greater wisdom.
Transforming pain and suffering (relationship, trauma, phobia etc.) into healing.
Diamond body: Shaping the body, its posture and movements by the help of mind.
Alignment of Body-mind-spirit.
Understanding the proper use and limitations of meditation techniques.
Discovering one’s own unique individual path by recognising and understanding the strength of one’s perceptual ability of sense organs.

CONCLUSION:
Having a taste of centering, emptiness and love in action with proper understanding of tools and techniques to maintain it in daily life.

May 24-28
Mystery of love facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam (In Hindi language only)
All over the world there is only one desire: for love. And all over the world there is only one complaint: I am not getting any love. 
Love is not something to be obtained from the outside. Love is an inner flowering. It arises from some dormant energy within. In this group, Ma Neelam shares some powerful meditation tools for the opening and purifying of the heart and rejoicing in the mystery of love.

June 3-9
Osho Neo Vipassana facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
It is not a traditional Vipassana group in which you sit for 10 hours daily. No, it is actually very dynamic, playful and leading you naturally into a space of deep silence and serenity. Osho explains: First you have to dance, first you have to shout in joy, and sing, and so your life becomes more vital. First you have to cathart, so all that you have repressed is thrown out and your body is purified of toxins and poisons, and your psyche also is purified from repressed traumas and wounds. When this has happened and you have become able to laugh and you have become able to love, then vipassana. Now vipassana will not drive you serious, will not drive you in any way into some ego trip. Now you can sit silently; now sitting silently is not serious. That is the special quality that I am trying to create here in vipassana -- it does not exist anywhere in the world.

June 13-17
Conscious Living and Dying facilitated by Ma Dharm Jyoti (In Hindi language only)
Life can be lived in two ways.
If you live unconsciously, you simply die; if you live consciously, you attain to more and more life. Death will come but you will never die, you remain aloof.
“Death happens near you but it never happens to you"...OSHO
Existence has given us this opportunity to get together and
have a penetrating look at our lives to see how we are living and what we are doing with our lives. Are we really living or dragging ourselves unconsciously and passing time? The fact is time will always be here and one day we will pass away.
This group is specially designed to disturb our sleep and to awaken us to our true nature. Unless we live consciously we can't die consciously. If you are ready to explore, jump in the caravan of seekers to learn to let go in the mysteries of life and death and awaken ourselves before it is too late.

June 21-24
Osho: Here and Now facilitated by Sw. Satya Vedant (In Hindi language only)
“Feel it! Experience it! That's what we are doing here! What is meditation? -- getting into here... now. What is love? -- getting into here now. What is celebration? -- getting into here now”.
OSHO
There is only one way: to live this moment NOW and HERE. Living totally, intensively... moment to moment, living now, living here – spontaneous. The meditator knows no other way to live.

July 1-4
Guru Purnima Celebration facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam (In Hindi Language only)
Guru Purnima also called as Master’s Day is a day when disciples express their gratitude to their master. Osho says that a guru is the one who liberates us and with whom we are in deep love, trust and reverence. A guru is a presence.
This is a four day meditation camp concluding on the last day with sannyas initiation celebration.

July 11-15
Sufi Sadhana Shivir facilitated by Ma Dhyan Abha (In Hindi language only)
Osho Sufi meditation camp is a program for seekers who like to celebrate, dance & rejoice. The mantra of sufi path is – bliss inside and celebration outside. Osho’s sufi meditation techniques set seekers to tread the path of sufism – dancing and celebrating. Splendid rhythms and music from the land of sufis create an atmosphere to encounter sufi sama. Devotional sufi kafis, kawaalis and poetry, in addition to sufi anecdotes told by Osho also lead the way ahead in the purpose. Stories of sufi masters like Rabia, Hassan. Mansoor, Junnaid, Farid, Saadi, Husain and many more take us to a point where we feel the real essence of sufism. Meditations like sufi karwan, sufi sama, whirling, hoo, heart dance & more help us to explore the rich spiritual sufi tradition. So this program is a fresh breadth for the lovers of sufism.

July 19-22
Trusting Yourself facilitated by Ma Prem Noorie ( in Hindi Langauge only)
Nobody has given you the feeling that you are loved and respected, that you are needed. Without you this Universe will lose some poetry, some beauty.
A song will be missed, a note will be missed, there will be a gap - no body has told you that and that's what my work here is : to destroy the distrust that has been created in you about yourself. Once you start feeling this tremendous respect, love and trust of the existence, you will start growing roots into your being.
You will trust yourself. The more you trust yourself, the more you are in a state of let-go and relaxation. And it is so beautiful that you start trusting more and more people because the more you trust, the more your calmness deepens, the more you soar high and then one day you are bound to trust the unknown. OSHO
This camp is a 4 day retreat in the divine serenity of Osho Nisarga to relax, rejoice and to have a deeper understanding about why we are not able to trust ourselves and the others. Along with meditations and celebrations, there will be techniques, processes and group sharing to enable us to move on the path of trusting ourselves and others too and as a result fill our lives with meditative fragrance, love and joy.

This path is a beautiful opportunity to learn to take distance from our mechanical emotions and belief-patterns and to enter intimately in contact with the richness of our body, its energy and our potential.

Nov 1-7
Satori: Glimpse of the Eternal facilitated by Sw. Avikal (In English language only)
Satori is a radical inquiry. It is going under the skin, in the heart and in the belly to see and feel what is in the way of being oneself.
What is my true nature? How do I lose myself or feel that there is not all of me present in this here and now? What is this emptiness that terrifies me? What is this restlessness that pushes me to do and do and do? What is this longing for being more real, truer and complete? What am I doing here?
Self-inquiry means to open and unsettle the mechanism that destroys the present by repeating the past. It means to be in the present, in the here and now.
The aim of this retreat is having this direct experience of being, an experience of awakening, and an experience of no - mind.
Satori is not therapy - but is highly therapeutic - It is an intense, honest, open and compassionate inquiry using existential questions: “Who am I? Who is in? What is Life? What is Love? Each one of these questions is a path that can take you from the confusion of the personality to the peak of clarity.
“Satori is like lightning – you can see a glimpse of the whole, all that is there, and then it disappears. But you will not be the same again. It is not final enlightenment, but a great step towards it. Now you know. You have had a glimpse, now you can search for more of it. You have tasted it, now Buddha’s will become meaningful”.
Osho, ‘And the Flowers Showered’

Nov 16-24
Tantra Meditation Retreat facilitated by Ma Ananda Sarita (In English language only)

This retreat, which explores methods from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra in an experiential format, is designed for both couples and singles. It is a powerful way to dive into our expansive potential through the 12 facets of Tantra. The group structure includes group sharing and periods of silence, quiet and active meditations, movement and dance, Tantra rituals and group/partner exercises. It is very special to have the opportunity of bringing together both Indians and Westerners in this Retreat, bringing Tantra back to its source in the Himalayas. Indians have the opportunity of proudly embracing their phenomenal spiritual heritage. As east and west melt together in this group, we discover the power of Tantra to create a union of opposites, bringing enrichment to all.
During this retreat we practice Tantra methods, taken from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, a 5000 year old scripture comprised of 112 methods for the expansion of consciousness. The retreat is offered one time per year. Each year for three consecutive years, we offer one third of the 112 methods. This means, over a three-year period, you have the opportunity of practising most of the methods offered in the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. You can enter this three year stream wherever it suits you. There is no sequential order to follow. You can likewise, participate in just one or two of the retreats. There is no commitment required to participate in all three.
The build-up, refinement and transformation of many facets of life force energy during this retreat invite an orgasmic awareness of one's full sensual being. Within a few days, you may sense an on-going ecstatic connection between body and soul, matter and spirit. It is a rare opportunity to explore these powerful Tantra methods, in a highly supportive environment. In this way, we distil the nectar of our being to its ultimate potency.

Dec 2-5
Science and Joy of Osho Meditations facilitated by Sw. Atmo Ninad

Dec 17-23
Osho No Mind Meditative Therapy facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
This is a week long process for two hours daily.
The first stage of this process is "Gibberish" The word 'gibberish' comes from a Sufi mystic, Jabbar. Jabbar never spoke any language, he just uttered nonsense. Still he had thousands of disciples because what he was saying was, "Your mind is nothing but gibberish. Put it aside and you will have a taste of your own being."
The second part is deep silence in which you sit with closed eyes—gathering all the energy within and being present in here and now.
Besides this powerful process for two hours, there will be other intensive methods of meditation during this group.

Dec 28-Jan1
Sufi Splendour facilitated by Ma Atmo Zia (In English language only)
Sufi Splendour is an exploration of being in the centre of paradox. From stillness the dance arises, in the dances I find my stillness. In the music I hear the silence, in this silence - the divine sounds. In the structure I find my madness. In the chaos, I find my path........as I spin faster, something in me gets slower, as I witness closer, my universe starts to get bigger.
The year ending is also a beginning, in the centre of these opposites, practising:
Whirling Dances, Gurdjeiff Movements, Sufi Mandalas, Zen Haikus, Silent Sitting, Gazing, Feeling, Sensing, BEING..... and then more dancing!
Sufi Splendour workshop is a re-membering to our states of higher consciousness. As the year unfolds new times ahead of us, the practice of ancient Sufi Rituals, Temple Dances and Sacred Prayers supports our journey to spiritual dimensions within us. The ancient & the contemporary exist side by side, as walks Zorba with the Buddha, whirling and turning, with celebrations of self remembering - to that endless horizon not away, but within us.
"I Like when the music happens like this:
Something in His eyes grabs hold of a tambourine in me,
Then I turn and lift a violin in someone else
And they turn and this turning continues. . . . .
It has reached you now.
Isn't that something."
Rumi
